Unless I'm mistaken, the drive should come already formatted as FAT32. It's a USB connection, correct? If so, you should be able to just plug it in and go. A FAT32 drive should be recognizable on both Mac and Windows computers. However, if you only intend to use it on your Mac, it's' probably best to reformat it for the Mac, specifically. To do that, go to your your "Applications" folder i nthe Finder, then open "Utilities". In their you should see a program called "Disk Utility". Open that, you should see the external drive, click it. Then you'll have the options to Format it, Partion it, scan it, do whatever. But no drivers or anything like that are needed. To remove the drive and take it somewhere, hide it, whatever; just drag it to the Trash and it'll say eject. That'll remove the drive from your desktop; then it's safe to unplug it.

What kind of hardrive is it? Model number?

Nope. If there's an existing agreement in place, contacting anyone would be a bad idea. Although, not sure why a 2nd agreement is needed. Given the amount in question... $1100 I'm thinking your best option is small claims court, as others have suggested. Although, I know little of these matters. Quite honestly if it was me... I'd probably let it drop, but then again I'm wussy like that.

If Fewell does that, he moves yet up another notch in my book.

That's along my line of thinking. Call him up, and lay out the scenario: Pay me my measly severence pay AND the $1100 bucks. I sign the confidentiality agreement. And walk quietly away, never to be heard from again. Or, don't. Then I make a few calls to TMZ and the like and see what my story is worth. And we all see just how far down the rabbit hole we can go. Give them a day to cut a check, then start making some calls. Depending upon who this individual is, your story could be quite profitable.

If I had to guess, I'd say you're right but for the wrong reason. Holmgren may have said no to the Bills because of Ralph, but not because Ralph's behavior. I would say it's probably because of Ralph's age. The Bills could quite possibly have new ownership within a few years. That means instability. Which, in turn, makes the position harder to fill.

Yep, all those great players plus a solid 4-9 record this year! How great would that be. Woo hooooo ...if only we could get the best players we could be as good as them. oh wait.... huh?

Yes, because the Browns, Redksins, Raiders, and every other bad team has all that.

All I can say is.... I wanna party with this kid!

JP can't get a break. Frye to start for Raiders.

Actually not. I'm merely pointing out the fact that Ralph and Russ are in the process of looking for a "real" GM (or DFO) to over haul the team. This is something that quite a few posters here have insisted (1) that's it's the most important thing the franchise needs to do, and (2) Ralph will never do it or doesn't want to do it or some other negative minded connotation. Well, we now have some evidence that a search for a GM will be (or is) underway. So, I think all the people claiming Ralph will never do what it takes to win, need to ratchet the rhetoric down a notch or two. At least until we see who is hired. Then, we can all complain about the selection and how cheap a move it was. But, for the time being, there's is hope in Bills' Land. The team has contacted every big name HC on the list; they're looking to hire a real GM; they're claiming a complete overhaul is coming. Who knows where it will all end up, but for now at least Ralph seems to be making good on his words to improve the team.

They just reported that he died on CNN. Damn.

I'm sorry but I think your analogy is inaccurate. My low pay is one of the primary reasons my job sucks. So, a raise addresses some of my dissatisfaction. On a plan, however, the number one complaint of the majority of passengers is being cramped into tight, uncomfortable seats. So, yes, it's nice that they can improve the air circulation, but it does little to make my flight more comfortable. And, the "if you don't like it, don't fly" response doesn't work so well when you fly for business and have little choice. For me, personally, it could be decades before I ever see this plane. Most of my travels are within the US to small citites and I'm stuck on CRJs and 757's (the most uncomfortable plane of them all). I agree, it's nice to see improvements. I can appreciate that. My beef, however, is I don't see those improvements addressing the primary problem with air travel. Maybe the airlines will give up a row of seats to make them more comfortable; I'll hold my breath.

Tremors.

So all the concerns and worries that the Bills wouldn't hire a real GM can be set aside. They apparently will begin interviews after Christmas, according to linky. Apparently Ralph isn't as senile as many have insisted and really does intend to overhaul the team. Let the discussions begin has to who the new GM should be (assuming Shannahan doesn't come).

What good are all these improvements though, if you still cram too many people in too small a space, and give them some horribly uncomfortable seats to boot? It's kinda like developing Super HD TV, but making us all watch it on a 12inch tv. What's the point? So, until some of that fuel efficiency tanslates to cheaper tickets or the interior improvements translates to more comfortable seeting arrangements, it's all talk, IMO.

Why don't they just give you enough room to acutally breath and stretch out a little. It's not the air that's cutting the circulation in my legs that can't move an inch or the crink in my neck because the back seat is horrible uncomfortable, all while I'm packed into some seat and can't even move my arms pasts my shoulder width for 3-4 hours. Yeah probably too some friggin genious years to realize better air circulation is what we need on a plane.

Yes. What's more important.. .the Bills winning games? Or your fantasy players having nice stats, along with a few highlights on ESPN? I think you have your priorities all wrong if you want low scoring, ugly wins over better FF numbers.

Byrd's pics are great....but, I still have to find something to about because I can't allow one moment of pleasure into my life.

The guy's instincts are to catch the ball every time he's near it, and you want him to start knocking it down instead of catching it? Because he might fumble it after he catches it? It really is true... Jauron's ultra conservative football has completely infected this franchise, including the fan base.

Why? Just pick it up and carry it. Reminds me of some employees I had last summer, asked me how they lift manholes to check inside the basin. "Easy... you pick it up. What's the friggin problem?" He looked at me like I had 3 heads. Needless to say he didn't last long.

I fully expect 3 TDs this week. Why? Because I had Brady and Moss on my fantasy team. First week of the playoffs - and they both crap out. I lose by 9 points. Friggin b s! Moss gets me NEGATIVE 0.4 friggin points! So, yeah this week, now that I'm eliminated... the tards will put up 3 or 4 touchdowns and have their best friggin week ever. I hate fantasy football.

Like shooting fish in a barrel. Good job dog.

Nice overall writeup, as usual. To be fair, on the interception in the end zone, I think Lee Evans was the only receiver running a route. IMO, his mistake was throwing a weak pass. He needed to throw it high and to the back of the end zone, so that wither Lee can jump and get it or it goes over everyone's head. Or just throw it away, because the Chiefs definitely snuffed the play out. Also, I'd like to give Fitzy some credit for the best play he made all day - that I haven't seen mentioned yet. His block on the 47 yard Lynch run. Wow, Lynch was getting to the edge with one guy to beat, Fitzy comes out of nowhere and takes out the guys legs which gave Lynch the sideline. It was a great effort and great block! Moorman's 73 yard punt. Really not much more to say.

Someone needs to remind Poz that he owes the Pats* a couple of broken bones; set his hair on fire and let him go.
